Nauvoo

Well I have really enjoyed the past month. We have traveled and traveled and have had a blast. Sorry I haven't kept up the blog while away but not a lot of extra time with the three kiddies in tow. Anyway, here are our adventures! We started out July 11th with my mom and a bunch of my family- aunts, uncle, cousins, cousins kids coming to Coralville and then we headed to Nauvoo. With our party of 9 adults and 9 children we toured through the city and went to the Nauvoo Pagent. It seemed to be a lot more kid friendly than Palmyra. They had fun with the pioneer games and plays and especially with one another. It was a lot of fun to spend time with my family and to have a chance to see Nauvoo. Phil was able to come down to the pagent Thursday night and was glad he was able to see it.
We came back to our house after two night there and spent some time with family. They flew home and my mom stayed behind. We then drove up to Milwaukee to stay with my cousin for a few days. They have two little girls that McKell and Alyssa had a blast with. It's too bad we had to move from Milwaukee the same time they moved there- just my luck!
So after a few days there we drove back to Iowa to get packed up and head to Utah. Phil was able to get a week off of work and my mom was with us so we had a grand time. The flight was good, Nate had his own seat and slept most of the way. My friend from Iowa was on the same flight with her kids and so McKell and Amaya had a good time putting make up on and listening to ipods- yes they are only 4 and 5!
So here is my plug for Nauvoo to those of you who don't live here- come visit and we can drive to Nauvoo- it's like 1.5 hours from me and I have a bed for you to stay in at my house, I will even make you dinner!
